  16 ## Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton
  17
  18 * Hardware Experience: assembly-level programming, gate-level
  19   circuit design, PCB design, reverse-engineering, embedded systems
  20   design and programming, software engineering, standards development,
  21   libre project management and more.
  22 * Ethical Technology Specialist.  Identifies socio-economic imbalances and
  23   works out if there's an ethical way in which technology can help.  If that
  24   technology doesn't exist, creates it.
  25 * Interests: varied and including particle physics and poetry.
  26 * website: [[http://lkcl.net]]
  27 * github: doesn't have one (because github is a proprietary non-free service),
  28   runs his own git servers, manages projects (several), entirely in a libre
  29   fashion, including managing the server(s).
  30 * Availability: full-time
